Dance-punk


Dance-punk (also known as disco-punk or punk funk) is a music genre that emerged in the late 1970s, and is closely associated with the post-punk and new wave movements.

Many groups in the post-punk era adopted a more rhythmic tempo, conducive to dancing. These bands were influenced by funk, disco, synth and other dance music popular at the time as well as being anticipated by some of the 1970s work of the Sparks,Iggy Pop. Groups of influence from the 1980s included the Talking Heads, Public Image Ltd.,New Order,Gang of Four,the Higsons, the Pop Group, Maximum Joy, the Brainiacs, the Big Boys, the Minutemen, Gary Allen, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. New York City dance-punk included Defunkt, Material,James Chance and the Contortions,Cristina Monet, Bush Tetras, ESG, and Liquid Liquid. German punk singer Nina Hagen had an underground dance hit in 1983 with "New York / N.Y.", which mixed her searing punk (and opera) vocals with disco beats.
